Sorry for all the stammering and stuttering in the podcast this week. It’s been a long week, even though it was barely half over when I recorded. I’d spent the prior two days pulling shifts at both my day job and the comic shop a friend runs. He and his wife had their baby this past weekend, and I’m helping out by working when no-one else can, but that’s left me a little spacey.
The tunes from this episode are pretty swank, though. A package came from No Idea (go buy the Lemuria/Cheap Girls split – it slays) this past weekend, and I found some awesome post-punk stuff at Salvation Army, so these super deep cuts ought to provide some stuff for you all to go dig for in clearance bins and bargain rooms yourselves. There’s a bunch of stuff headed this for review (in theory), so some of that might pop up next week.
